Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 216

After leaving the hospital, Ethan pulled out his phone and immediately called home. Thus, the news of Ines' twin pregnancy spread like wildfire among the Meyer family. Over the phone, Ines heard Phillip's joyful laughter, clearly thrilled by the news.

"Man, I'm lucky to be getting two grandkids at once." Phillip said.

Ethan, always fond of debating with his grandpa, retorted, "Grandpa, it's not about your luck, it’s about my genes. I'm just too powerful."

"You cheeky devil, can't you let me have my moment? Technically, it's not about how great you are, it's about how amazing Ines is." Phillip didn't buy into Ethan's argument.

Ines, listening to their banter, broke into laughter, not interrupting them.

After a lengthy chat, Ethan finally hung up the call. Suddenly, Ines remembered something and promptly reminded him, "Ethan, you can't blast a group text this time around. The last time was just too awkward." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Considering the status and reputation of the Meyer family, their friends and relatives would surely come knocking with presents. Their storage room was already packed to the brim, more stuff would just be a waste.

Ethan chuckled, "Alright, this time they're in for a surprise."

Originally, Ines was supposed to work today, but Phillip insisted they head home immediately to meet his unborn grandkids. Ines was helpless; it was as if the kids were already born.

But she couldn't argue with Phillip. Seeing that there were no emergencies at the Galeana Group, she went home with Ethan.

From afar, they saw Phillip anxiously pacing at the front door, waiting for them.

"Grandpa." Ines greeted.

Upon seeing Ines, Phillip worriedly said, "Izzy, walk slowly. Be careful with my grandsons."

Ines smiled, walked up and linked arms with him, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be careful."

Phillip patted her hand and looked at Ines seriously, "Izzy, I really want to thank you. You're bringing two grandsons into the Meyer family at once, it's fantastic."

Seeing Phillip's hands trembling slightly, Ines knew he was worried and reassured him, "Grandpa, everything will be fine."

Ethan parked the car and walked over, hearing the word "grandsons" from Phillip, his face darkened, "Not grandsons. Grandkids."

Phillip, who also favored granddaughters, quickly corrected himself, "Granddaughters are just as good, but it would be best if it's a boy and a girl. A little sister with a big brother to protect her, that's the real deal."

Ethan chuckled, "Yeah, that would be great actually."

Ines smiled, watching the two of them speculate. She too hoped for a boy and a girl, but the chance of having twins was already quite slim, let alone boy-girl twins. She was already very content, not daring to wish for more.

Seeing Ines, Erica immediately grasped her hand, constantly saying, "We, the Meyer family, are so lucky."

"Erica." Ines was a bit shy. She was just pregnant, but her family made her feel as if she'd accomplished some great feat. Erica led Ines to the couch, asking, "Izzy, how are things at the Galeana Group? If possible, you should take a break now. Carrying twins is hard. You may look slim now, but in a month or two, your belly will swell. With the Galeana family's complicated situation, I hope you won't get involved anymore to avoid getting hurt."

"Don't worry, Erica. I will talk to Silas about this later. The recovery there has been going well, they should be back soon, so my leaving will only affect things for a few days." Ines said.

"That's a relief. We have plenty of bedrooms at home, you can just move in after wrapping up your work. Also, bring Camela with you, we'll take care of you together. I'll hire a nanny in a few months." Erica said.

"Thank you." Ines said.

Erica let her lean on her shoulder.

Naturally, Ethan overheard their conversation and stepped out into the yard to call Silas. Silas was also thrilled to hear the news, and said he would contact Hunter right away to arrange for his early return.

When Ines arrived at the Galeana Group, Silas had just come in from outside. Seeing her, she smiled, "Congratulations, having twins is no easy feat."

"Thank you." Ines said.

"Izzy, I’ve already contacted the chairman. He's almost fully recovered and will be back the day after tomorrow. You can let go of the reins now and go home to rest." Silas said with a smile.

“So soon? Alright, I'll hand over the work to you now and stop coming from tomorrow." Ines finished handing over her work in an hour. She had only been at the Galeana Group for a short two months

and didn’t have much personal stuff. She packed everything into a small bag. When she was leaving, she bumped into Emma. Her belly was noticeably protruding, and she had switched to flat shoes, completely looking the part of a soon-to-be mom.

Emma was about to leave, but seeing the bag in Ines' hand, she asked in confusion, "What are you up to?"

"I was only the interim chairman, and now that my time is up, I should step aside." Ines replied.

Emma looked at Ines excitedly, "Does that mean my dad is coming back?"

Instead of answering, Ines walked away.

After leaving the Galeana Group, Ines went straight home. Camela had already started tidying up and brought out a prepared fruit platter when she saw Ines return.

"Izzy, have some fruit." Camela said.

Ines took it with a smile and then lounged on the couch, munching on fruit while watching TV.

Phoebe called just then, "I saw your text. You're amazing, having two babies at once. I'm about to become the godmother of two kids, it feels like a dream. I was so excited at lunch today, I couldn't rest properly."

Ines laughed happily, "I'm not even that pumped up."

"Aww man, my wallet is about to take a serious hit, feels like I've gotta buy two of everything now. No way, I need to hustle and make some extra dough before the baby comes." Phoebe started to grumble after the excitement.
